Class 16 In a rounding and backing machine in which the leaves, sewn together or with back sections cut away, have a cloth lining secured to the spine by an adhesive and the edges of the leaves trimmed to form a rectangular block before the rounding operation which spreads the back to a greater thickness than the remainder of the book, shortly prior to the rounding and backing operation, the spine of the book to which the lining is attached by adhesive is heated by the direct application of steam, the adhesive and lining being of such nature that when so heated they spread without appreciable resistance to the rounding and backing operation. As shown in Fig. 1, steam heat is applied to the backs of the books 11 which have had cloth lining strips 10 secured thereto, the books being traversed by hand, back upwardly, over a gradually sloping table 12 up to a stop 24, whence they are fed by hand to the rounding and backing machine, the books passing under a steam chest 13 supplied at its apex by a pi@ 14 from a small boiler 15 heated by gas. The chest 13 has a perforated under plate 22 over which is loosely stretched cotton sheeting 23. The chest 13 is supported on an upright 19 by slide mechanism 20 adjustable by a handle 21 so that the sheeting 23 is just in contact with the backs of the books 11. In place of the table 12, the books may be mechanically fed past the chest 13 on an endless conveyer, the end book then being mechanically engaged by a reciprocating pusher to feed the books one by one to the rounding and backing machine. As shown in detail in Figs. 3, 5, the steam chest comprises triangular shaped sides 27 joined to form an upper inlet opening 28 over which is secured a cowl 29 with a steam inlet pipe 31 the chest being supported from upright 19 by arms 65, 66 lying under the cowl 29. A collecting bath 32 is secured by brackets 9 directly under the opening 28 to collect any drips and transform them back steam. Heating elements 33 are secured to the two long walls of the chest to maintain the chest and steam trap 32 at a temperature above the boiling point of water. The lower edges of the walls 27 are secured to a frame 34 and the chest closed by a perforated plate 35 secured by angle pieces 36. Cotton sheeting 39 under the plate 35 is held in grooves 38 in the frame 34 by steel rods 40 pressed inwardly by steel clips having a lug engaging an upper groove 8 and secured by screws to the frame 34. Outward lugs on the clips are used to secure blanking off plates to alter the effective size of the chest so that steam only reaches the backs of the books. Alternatively, the inside of the chest may have compartments for example, three, each having a control valve and separate supply pipe to vary the effective width of the chest. The cotton sheeting 39 would then be hooked up to the perforated plate along the edges of the compartments. The cotton sheeting has crimped weft only for stretching only in the one direction.

Title: Improvements in or relating to compound threads
IPC: D02G3/34
Filed: 1933-05-11
Abstract: 416,806. Compound threads. BRITISH CELANESE, Ltd., 22, Hanover Square, London. May 11, 1933, No. 13788. Convention date, May 11, 1932. [Classes 120 (ii) and 120 (iii).] A compound thread comprises a stretched thread containing continuous filaments and a highly twisted thread wrapped therearound to form a covering. When fabric containing the thread is treated by scouring, dyeing or like operation the stretched thread contracts to approximately its original length and enhances the effect of the twist of the other upon the drape, handle and appearance of the fabric. The stretched thread may have little or no twist ; the wrapping thread may also be a continuous filament thread ; and one of the components may be of cellulose acetate or other organic derivative of cellulose, a suitable stretched thread being an acetone soluble cellulose acetate thread stretched 8 per cent of its length. Suitable apparatus for producing the thread is shown in the Figure, a thread 15, stretched by rollers 17, 18, of which the speed of 17 is about 8 per cent higher than that of 18, passes through a hollow spindle 6 carrying a bobbin 11 of the covering thread which is wrapped by a flyer 12, or a ring adapter such as described in Specification 304,806, [Class 120 (ii)], carried by the spindle 6. Apparatus may be arranged to operate in succession so that more than one wrapping of similar, opposite or different twists may be applied, the combining of two or more wrapping-threads with opposite twists obviating the usual twist-setting operation by steaming, sizing or other means.

Filed: 1971-05-10
Abstract: 1310454 Telescopic jib cranes J I CASE CO 10 May 1971 [10 July 1970] 14035/71 Heading B8B [Also in Division F1] A crane has a telescopic boom with first, second, and third sections, (30), (32), (34), Fig. 3 (not shown), pivoted by the first section (30) for luffing on a slewing turntable. A first ram 40 is attached by its cylinder 46 to the second section (32) and by its piston-rod 42 to the first section (30). A second ram 50 is attached by its cylinder 52 to the second section (32) and by its piston-rod to the third section (34). A pump 112 supplies fluid under pressure from a reservoir 110 for extending and retracting the boom under the control of a valve 114. In order to extend the boom the pressure fluid is routed through a conduit 116, a pressureresponsive relief valve 140, a passage 79 through the ram 40 (formed by tube 62 in the piston-rod 42 and tube 74 in the cylinder 46) and conduits 86, 88 to a flow divider 84. The fluid then passes through conduits 90, 94 and 92, 96 to the cylinders 46, 52 below their respective pistons. The other ends of the cylinders 46, 52 are connected by a conduit 100 and the fluid can pass through radial holes 80 in the pistonrod outer member 60 to an annular passage between the outer member 60 and the tube 62 to a conduit 118 leading back to the valve 114 and, for extension of the boom, to the reservoir 110. A second pressure-responsive relief valve 140 is positioned in the conduit 96. The flow divider 84 itself incorporates first and second pressure-responsive valves 120, 122 and if the elements of either of the rams 40, 50 are restrained, the fluid is directed first to extend the unrestrained ram and then to extend the other ram, thus synchronizing the rams 40, 50 at the ends of their respective strokes. During retraction of the rams 40, 50 by reversing the valve 114 the fluid divider 84 acts to recombine the flow from the two rams 40, 50.

Title: Improvements in and relating to vertical screw extrusion devices
IPC: B29C48/05
Filed: 1942-10-07
Abstract: <PICT:0560639/IV/1> The invention is concerned with the feed screw, having feeding, melting and metering segments, which is described in Specification 555,131 and consists in arranging the feed segment and the metering segment in slidable relationship to each other. The metering segment B, of metal having a low heat-transfer coefficient, is keyed to the melting segment R, of metal having a high heat-transfer coefficient, by keys P1, and a shaft Q is fixed to segment R at O1.  The shaft Q is splined into a reducer shaft C.  The feeding segment A, of low coefficient, is slidably mounted on the shaft Q and is joined to a sleeve E which is splined on the shaft C at S; a spring F forces the segment A downwardly.  When the melt chamber L becomes full, feeding segment A rises, against the thrust of spring F, and a collar A2, co-operating with a bushing J, stops the feed.  Segment A, however, continues to rotate, and when chamber L clears, it descends.  The feed thread A1 covers only 270 DEG  of the shank, thus permitting rapid filling by gravity of chamber L. Hot liquid or gas is supplied by ports N, Y and T.  Lagging X reduces heat loss.
